Here's why it's difficult to predict:
* Niche character: While Warlord has a loyal fanbase, he's not a mainstream character like Batman or Superman, making a solo movie less commercially appealing.
* DC's busy slate: DC Comics has a packed schedule with movies like The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, making it less likely to greenlight a lesser-known character right now.
* The "Warlord" rights: It's unclear who currently holds the rights to the character, which could be a hurdle.
However, there's always hope!
* The rise of streaming: Streaming services like HBO Max (now Max) are increasingly willing to invest in smaller, niche projects.
* Successful adaptations: If other lesser-known DC characters get successful movies (like Shazam!), it could open the door for more obscure heroes, including Warlord.
* Fan demand: A strong enough fan campaign could get DC executives to reconsider.
So, while a Warlord movie isn't confirmed, it's not impossible. It just needs the right circumstances to align!
